We are looking at this song because it is our 3-5 choir song for the 2018 Music Festival
(You can join in Jan.)
The song was first sung by Cindy Lauper. - The movie "Trolls" made it famous today, but it was written over 40 years ago by Billy Steinberg. He wrote it about his song mother. He first offered the song to famous Canadian singer Anne Murray (but she declined). Anne Murray was the first Canadian female singer to reach No. 1 on the US music charts and the first to receive a gold record (500,000 sold). This happened in 1970 and the song was called Songbird. Take a listen:
Cyndi lauper's took the lyrics to "True Colors" and created the beautiful melody to the song to deliver such a great message. Listen to her voice:
Now listen to Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick sing True Colors and discuss how the versions are same/different. Sing Along !
